net/mlx5e: Properly deal with encap flows add/del under neigh update
Currently, the encap action offload is handled in the actions parse function and not in mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow() where we deal with all the other aspects of offloading actions (vlan, modify header) and the rule itself. When the neigh update code (mlx5e_tc_encap_flows_add()) recreates the encap entry and offloads the related flows, we wrongly call again into mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow(), this for itself would cause us to handle again the offloading of vlans and header re-write which puts things in non consistent state and step on freed memory (e.g the modify header parse buffer which is already freed). Since on error, mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow() detaches and may release the encap entry, it causes a corruption at the neigh update code which goes over the list of flows associated with this encap entry, or double free when the tc flow is later deleted by user-space. When neigh update (mlx5e_tc_encap_flows_del()) unoffloads the flows related to an encap entry which is now invalid, we do a partial repeat of the eswitch flow removal code which is wrong too. To fix things up we do the following: (1) handle the encap action offload in the eswitch flow add function mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow() as done for the other actions and the rule itself. (2) modify the neigh update code (mlx5e_tc_encap_flows_add/del) to only deal with the encap entry and rules delete/add and not with any of the other offloaded actions.
